apacī

1 Enlargement of the glands of the neck, &c.

2 Any indolent tumor.

E. a neg. paca to ripen, aṅ and ṅīp aff.

in ‘a number of tumors some of which are of the size of

an Amalaka-stone and others like spawn, which cause

itching, but otherwise little pain, burst, suppurate and dis-

appear when others come again’. E. accord. to Suśruta

apa and cī, i. e. ‘a bad gathering’; for he writes ‘(granthi-

bhiḥ) ananyavarṇairupacīyamānaṃ cayaprakarṣādapacīṃ vadanti’; an

etym. ‘a and paca’ would not merely be at variance with

its femin. form. in ī, but with the nature of the disease

itself, since the tumors so called attain maturity; for they

burst and suppurate: ‘kaṇḍūyutāste'lparujaḥ prabhinnāḥ sravanti

naśyanti bhavanti cānye’.
